Sydney Tower, Aquarium, and more baseball

Got to see the city of Sydney from the Westfield Tower yesterday. The tower is 305 meters tall, as high as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Afterwards I went to the Sydney Aquarium to chill with some sharks and see other sea creatures. 

Today I had a another chance to play baseball Aussie style and picked up a couple more hits, RBI, and stolen bags while getting to face an Australian pitcher who pitched in Double-A ball a few years back. The field itself was in Hawkesbury, described by my teammates as being "in the boonies" and a great place to go cowtipping. The guys on the team and Australians in general have a unique but very entertaining sense of humor. The Aussies love messing with a French player on our team, while cracking jokes among each other.

I finished off the weekend with a weekly dinner at some friends and family's house and tried some Turkish Tea, which seems to be glorified hot cider.
